Triton TDJ600 Instructions D'utilisation Et Consignes De Sécurité page 9

Indicator is level with '0' on the depth gauge.
Note: You do not need to adjust the position of the Zero Indicator again until you change the
drill bits.
Connecting a dust extraction system
1. Push-fit a compatible dust adaptor (not supplied) into the Dust Port (22) Image C
2. Attach the hose from the dust extraction system to the dust adaptor and make sure it is
fitted securely.
Note: The adaptor can be adjusted to any take-off position through the 180° arc towards the
operator.
Setting the fence angle
The Fence (1) has 90° travel, with indents for quick and easy setting at 22.5°, 45° and 67.5°.
To set the angle required:
1. Loosen the Fence Angle Locking Knob (9)
2. Rotate the Fence to the required angle setting on the Angle Gauge (10) (Image D)
3. Tighten the Fence Angle Locking Knob so that the Fence is secured in position
Note: Check the Fence is securely locked in position before drilling; failure to do so may result
in damage to the workpiece or the tool if it moves during use
Note: The Angle Gauge is approximate only; use additional angle measuring equipment if
necessary, to check the fence angle
Using the Viewer
• The three lines on the Viewer (2) identify:
- The centre line of each drill bit,
- The centre line between the two drill bits.
• Use these markings to accurately align the drill with the set-up marks on your workpiece
(Image E)
Note: The Triton Double Dowelling Jointer produces holes spaced at exactly 32mm apart,
making the tool compatible with 'System 32' cabinet making – ideal for creating neatly spaced
rows of holes in cabinet walls.
Adjusting the drilling depth
• The Depth Gauge (8) enables you to set a drilling depth of 0 - 38mm (Image F)
• Whenever drill bits are changed or new bits fitted, the Zero Indicator (7) and Depth Gauge
(8) must be zeroed. See 'Zeroing the depth gauge'.
• Use the scale on the Gauge to set the required depth
1. Loosen the Depth Gauge Locking Knob (6) so that the Depth Gauge can slide back and forth
2. Position the Depth Gauge so that the required depth is aligned with the pointer on the Zero
Indicator (7)
3. Tighten the Depth Gauge Locking Knob to secure the Depth Gauge in the required position.
This will limit the movement of the tool body and therefore the drilling depth to the
maximum value set
Adjusting the drilling height
The rack and pinion fence height adjustment mechanism allows adjustment of the drilling
height from 9mm to 43mm (Image G)
1. Loosen the Fence Height Locking Knob (17)
2. Rotate the Fence Height Adjustment Knob (16) to raise or lower the Fence
3. Align the black arrow on the height adjustment mechanism with the height required on the
Height Gauge (18)
4. Tighten the Fence Height Locking Knob to secure the Fence (1) at the set height
Operation
IMPORTANT: Always use two hands when drilling. Hold the Main Handle (5) of the jointer in
one hand, with a finger resting comfortably on the ON/OFF Trigger Switch (21) and with the
other hand hold the Auxiliary Handle (3) so the tool is securely held
Switching ON & OFF
• To start the dowel jointer squeeze the ON/OFF Trigger Switch (21)
• Release the ON/OFF Trigger Switch to turn OFF
Notes:
• In order to drive holes into the workpiece as required, first set up the dowelling jointer
according to the 'Before Use' instructions and prepare the workpiece(s) by marking the
required drilling points
• It is important that the workpiece(s) are accurately marked.
• There is little tolerance when joining wood with dowels, so accurate measurement is
very important at all times. The most critical holes are normally those at the edges of the
186171_OwnerManual.indd 9 186171_OwnerManual.indd 9
workpiece, so any positioning mistakes are best placed in the middle of wood where extra
dowel holes can be added if necessary
• Always clamp the workpiece where possible to prevent movement during drilling
1. Hold the Main Handle (5) with one hand so that a finger rests on the ON/OFF Trigger Switch
(21)
2. Align the guides on the Viewer (2) with the drilling marks on the workpiece
3. Position the tool against the workpiece so that the Front Face (12) and the underside of the
Fence (1) are fully in contact with the workpiece
4. Press down on the front of the Fence with the fingers of your other hand to hold the tool
in position, and check there are no gaps under the Front Face or underside of the Fence.
Move your hand back to the Auxiliary Handle (3) so the tool is held securely
Note: It may be necessary to secure the tool by applying pressure on the Fence (1) (Image H)
rather than holding the Auxiliary Handle (3) to ensure the tool stays in the same position on the
wood. When doing this take extreme care to keep your hands away from the drill bits
5. In one smooth movement, press the ON/OFF Trigger Switch (21) and push the body of the
tool forward so that the drill bits penetrate the workpiece (Image I)
6. Push the body of the tool forward as far as it will go, until arrested by the depth stop on the
Depth Gauge (8) to create the desired holes in the correct positions
7. While keeping the tool powered, remove the drill bits from the workpiece. Hold the tool
securely with both hands while doing so
8. Once the tool is removed from the workpiece, release the ON/OFF Trigger Switch to switch
the tool OFF
Note: The Return Spring (20) will cause the body to move automatically back to the rest
position, withdrawing the drill bits from the workpiece, while still applying some pressure to
the Front Face and Fence. The operator should carefully control the exit of the drill bits, taking
care to maintain the tool in exactly the same position in relation to the holes drilled
9. Once the drill bits are clear of the workpiece and have stopped rotating, lift the tool away
from the workpiece
Note: It is recommended to practise using the dowelling jointer on scrap pieces of wood first
so you can familiarise yourself with how it operates
Positioning
• In order to drill the corresponding holes in the face of the joining workpiece, the tool needs
to be positioned perpendicular to that face (Image J)
• It is recommended that you work with the tool bearing down on the workpiece, so that the
weight of the tool works with the direction of operation, as opposed to attempting to drive
holes upwards from below the workpiece
• If you need to drill holes too far from an edge, configure the jointer so that both the Fence
and Front Face are level with each other. The jointer can now rest vertically on a surface
and be positioned freely - even on large workpieces (Image K) Ensure the tool is secure in
position before drilling
Using a jig or template
The dowel jointer is fitted with Jig Teeth (11) and a Jig Teeth Bar (14) which enable fast drilling
of holes when using a dowel jig or template (not supplied)
• The use of such a jig or template allows rapid drilling of accurate holes and can speed up
the process of cabinet making. It is also ideal for creating shelving holes at regularly spaced
intervals
1. Clamp the jig or template to the workpiece exactly in the required position after careful
measuring
2. Set up the dowel jointer to use either the Jig Teeth Bar (14) or the Jig Teeth (11) with the
dowel jig or template
Note: Make sure the correct drilling depth, fence angle and fence height is set
3. Drill the required holes by inserting the Jig Teeth of the dowel jointer with the teeth slots of
the dowel jig or template, and then operate the tool as normal
Note: Using a dowel jig or template is ideal when working with the jointer configured for free
positioning over a large workpiece with both the Fence and Front Face level
Note: Although there are commercial dowel jigs available, alternatively a dowel jig or template
can be constructed
